After working with ORMs for a long time, all I really want is a nice API for building queries (that actually supports all underlying database features) and automatic mapping of the results to whatever objects/structs and primitives the

That was my thought. I’m really out of the loop on this story, but it’s going to be awkward if he’s proven innocent.

Those ads are also very likely to be relevant to HN users relative to typical internet ads.

The optimistic way to look at it though is that it wrote the boring 29 lines that you didn't want to write and got you straight to the actual problem that needs solving.

The subscriber count continues to grow, so it seems like the content is fine. Or at least not so bad that people are unsubscribing. It seems to me that Netflix still has the most generally appealing content. Yeah Disney has some of the bigg

I don't know what you're talking about, we built a wall and Mexico paid for it, remember?

Probably hard to say because you can't trust any answers from the propaganda machine.

They could change the TOS, but actually enforcing would be difficult. You'd have to have something like the app store review process. And another goal here is probably to get everyone using the same clients so they have more control ov

I love the pipe operator in Elixir, but I've never really wanted it in JS. It's critical in Elixir because the design of the runtime (immutability, functions only, no methods). In the rare cases that you might need it, like their

Ah, yeah in the context of building a portfolio that makes sense.

I disagree with your point about juniors with unfinished side projects. There are fun parts of coding and tedious parts. Greenfielding, using a new language/framework/library, coming up with high-level architecture is fun. Trackin

The rear camera and bluetooth phone connectivity are very popular.

I still think it's a great choice for smaller projects. I can't imagine it at the scale of shopify.

It feels like they're always wasting the potential of the Mac Mini. I assume the whole point of the product is to be the cheaper desktop option (I could be wrong), but when you compare it to any Windows desktop, it's a bad value.

Uh no. Did you watch the video you posted in full? He uses software called “ebsynth”. He draws over a couple of frames in a scene and feeds the rest to the software, which attempts to match the style. It’s not perfect, which is why you see

On the other hand, this is a great opportunity for new artists to embrace AI and make a career out of it, instead of cowering in fear. There's a popular youtuber named Joel Haver who films videos, then uses an AI tool to convert them i

Very cool. Coming from the web dev world, the gaming world seems very protective of everything about development. This makes sense coming from the AAA studios, but it sadly extends to many indie devs as well. Hopefully there will be more em

Looks awesome! It's relatively rare to see fully completed games open-sourced immediately. I'm curious what the thought process is there, and if you're concerned about people selling low-effort reskins or other exploitative t

I wonder what would have to happen for iMessage to get adopted as a standard, or a similar standard to replace it. It's such a great technology, it's a tragedy that Apple has an iron grip on it.

There's a ton of compute power available in the form of unused phones.

That's some pretty serious cherry picking

With regards to forum conversations specifically, one con is that you have no idea what type of people are talking to. In real life you make all kinds of judgement calls before engaging in a conversation. For example: Do they actually have

I tried to buy a house that was instead bought as an Airbnb. I'm still annoyed, but on the bright side it looks like it's almost never booked.

Yeah maybe the point of the post is to be snarky and pedantic, but it seems like it’s deliberately missing the point.

That’s a great analogy. It feels to me like we’re consuming so much “zero to plushy” content these days, and in very parasocial ways. Podcasts, talk shows, documentaries, YouTubers. We’re told over and over implicitly or explicitly that we

Look at the human rights status of democratic vs. non-democratic or faux-democratic countries, that speaks for itself pretty well.

It's clever how they've distilled the api down to something so simple, but yeah, as a paid service it's pretty lame.
